What We Like
+33MP full-frame sensor with 7K oversampling creates exceptionally sharp 4K video
+Advanced AI autofocus with real-time subject recognition for reliable tracking
+Tilting 3.68-million-dot OLED viewfinder (first in compact FX cinema line)
+Dual base ISO (800/4000) with excellent dynamic range for flexible shooting
+Hybrid capabilities with S-Log3 photo mode matching video color workflows
+Active cooling prevents overheating during extended 4K recording sessions
Worth Knowing
4K at 60fps requires 1.5x crop in APS-C mode, not full-frame
Notable rolling shutter in full-frame oversampled 4K modes due to slow sensor readout
Limited to 120fps only in Full HD; no 4K 120fps like FX3/FX30
RAW video output restricted to external 4.7K APS-C crop mode only

Read our notes on general
The Sony FX2 is a full-frame cinema camera that bridges hybrid and professional video work, combining a 33MP sensor with an innovative tilting OLED viewfinder and AI-powered autofocus. It delivers stunning 7K-oversampled 4K at up to 30p and brings S-Log3 photo capabilities that match video workflows, making it ideal for content creators and documentarians. However, shooters should note the 4K/60p crop limitation and rolling shutter characteristics inherent to its sensor design.
